System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks, and most are diagnosed on the first visit.
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
Air conditioning repair in Cranbrook Common
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, then call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk if the problem is still there. We reply to enquiries the same working day. Typical jobs include weak airflow from the indoor unit and a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room, across multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
Outdoor units in a place like Cranbrook Common can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Cranbrook Common.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Advice
Common questions in Cranbrook Common
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Cranbrook Common?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Cranbrook Common. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Cranbrook Common?
We do: Cranbrook Common falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Normally a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Switch the unit off and call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
What we are called out for in Cranbrook Common
Rattles, buzzes and grinding sounds tend to be mechanical. Worn fan bearings, loose panels, debris in the outdoor fan or pipework vibrating against the building are common and some point to a compressor problem.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- A system that won’t switch on
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
